“No matter how grand the house, it is first and foremost a stage on which real human beings play out their lives.”

FROM THE FORWARD OF
American Splendor: The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer
Mount Pleasant for the Philadelphia Museum of Art
One of the grandest 18th century houses in Fairmount Park was the setting for this holiday installation. We were given free reign in the museum’s storage collections to furnish this house in its original spirit. This treasure trove yielded exceptional portraits, exemplary furniture and notable silver and porcelain collections, all coming together to create a memorable experience.
